Costumes

Jane Austen Festival Australia is an annual celebration in Canberra where living history enthusiasts from all over Australia come and indulge themselves in everything Georgian, Regency & Early Victorian - including dancing, music, food, games, archery, fencing, theatre, promenades, grand balls, talks, workshops, costumes and books. Since its inception in 2008 this little festival has blossomed into one of the most delightful weekend anyone could experience each April in an old and beautiful part of Canberra, the Federal capital of Australia.

The 18th Cracovia Danza Court Dance Festival will take place in Krakow between July 30th and August 6th. Held under the In the Far East title, this year’s edition will concentrate on Asia. As usual, the Festival will welcome an international circle of dancers who will take part in open-air performances, presentations and court dance workshops.

Four repertoires :

Figure dances, from the Italian tradition to the English one (16th and 17th century)
Baroque dance
Jane Austen’s and Regency dance
Danse 1er Empire
 

We would like to invite you to one of the greatest dancing events of the year in Moscow – the annual Festival of Historical Dance. It will take place from 20 to 27 August 2017.
It is going to be a fascinating week full of dance classes, dance evenings and the magnificent Grand Ball in one of the historic buildings in the centre of Moscow. 

Most of the classes will be conducted by Arnaud Degioanni, the head of the famous “Carnet de Bals” Historical Dance Association and the main teacher of the Festival. 

The tutors of Accademia Amsterdam invite lovers of baroque dance to an exciting summer course dedicated to baroque chamber music and dance. Particular attention is paid to the overall interpretation of the early baroque period up to classicism. Dance classes are given by tutor Ricardo Barros and involve tecniques, warming up and style.

Una reflexión desde las perspectivas académica y artística. Desde  la transversalidad en que se integran investigación coreológica y conocimiento corpóreo para la elaboración de una aproximación muy provocativa hacia el Baile Bolero, constitutivo de la imagen coreutica de España en el panorama internacional desde finales del siglo XVIII, con figuras tan emblemáticas como María Medina, hasta el Bolero postromántico, a través de las fuentes coreográficas y  musicales, iconografía y hemerografía.

The popularity of the historical novels of Sir Walter Scott (a contemporary and favourable reviewer of Jane Austen) gave rise to costumed balls to which guests would come dressed as characters from his novels (his first in 1814 entitled ‘Waverley’) and groups of friends would try and costume to the same theme for the opening quadrille. Soon any historical dress was acceptable and Waverley balls were even being held in Australia and New Zealand.
